This book offers the first detailed analysis of Chinaand#8217;s insider trading law,
explaining what constitutes insider trading in China and what the consequences
of unlawful insider trading might be there. More importantly, it suggests ways
in which the law might more effectively prevent the occurrence of insider
trading in the first place. Among the elements of the legal framework
addressed by the author are the following:

and#8226; Who benefits from insider trading

and#8226; The issue of when information becomes public

and#8226; A comparative law treatment of the underlying theories of insider trading
liability

and#8226; Private civil liability

and#8226; Damage caps

and#8226; Measures of recovery

The authorand#8217;s approach focuses on Chinaand#8217;s readiness to adopt foreign ideas
without adequately assimilating them into the local context. In this
connection, he sets out valuable reform proposals, using authority from field
interviews with Chinese stakeholders as well as from comparative case law.
